Tokyo Xanadu for PC, PS4 and PSV is a Japanese action role-playing game. It was developed by Nihon Falcom, known for such series as Ys or The Legend of Heroes.
The game is set in modern times in Morimiya, a fictional district of the city of Tokyo, based on the real-life Trochikawa region, where he headquarters of Nihon Falcom is located.
The protagonist is a 17-years old high-schooler named Kou Tokisaka. Returning from a part-time job one night, he witnesses a group of young criminals being massacred by a monster. Moments later the beast is defeated by a young girl, who turns out to be Kou's class representative. Thus Kou becomes involved in the fight between humanity and creatures from a parallel world.
Tokyo Xanadu for PC, PS4 and PSV is an RPG with two gameplay modes, their differences being based on where our party is currently located. In the humans' world, you mostly take care of the character's daily life. You go to school, manage their reputation, go shopping and do other rather mundane things.
However, you regularly find yourself in the monsters' realm as well. Here the gameplay is filled with more action. You mostly fight your foes using a strongly arcade-like combat system. You can use a variety of attacks, combine them and use many special abilities. You can only control one character at a time, while the rest of the team remains hidden and idle, but you can switch them at any time. It is quite important, as every member of your party has different weaponry, abilities, and special attacks.
Both worlds are connected to each other. The successes and failures in one world affect the abilities of the characters in the other one, thus also affecting their combat potential. Conversely, successfully completing missions in the monsters' realm positively affects the situation in Morimiya.

Game Ratings for Tokyo Xanadu eX+ Video Game.
GameSpew: 80 / 100 by Kyle Bradford
While there can be quite a bit of hand-holding, which may turn off more hardcore fans of the genre, Tokyo Xanadu eX+ offers a great respite from other, bigger holiday releases. If you've got some time this holiday to sit down with a meaty JRPG, this one might just be the one for you.
RPG Site: 8 / 10 by Chao Min Wu
The proper way of playing Tokyo Xanadu, if you don't care about portability that is.
Rice Digital: 4.5 / 5
Even though Tokyo Xanadu borrows heavily from the Persona series, it still has enough personality in it to be wholeheartedly entertaining. While not as deep and brooding as the evident source material, Tokyo Xanadu still managed to be a surprisingly enjoyable experience. The enormous cast of characters with rich side stories made the world feel bustling with life, while the real-time twitch battles meant combat had more staying power than if it went the typical turn-based approach. Tokyo Xanadu might not be the most innovative title out there, but it manages to blend its ideas well enough that every JRPG fan should at least give it a try.
